WHAT DO YOU DO?
I’m a humanitarian and a digital marketer
WHAT INSPIRED YOU INTO YOUR CURRENT BUSINESS.
A desire to help people especially business owners and those desiring to start a career in digital marketing.
DOES IT IN ANY WAY RELATE TO YOUR EDUCATION?
Well, it relates in the sense that, I studied Electronic & Electrical Engineering (Communications Option) and digital marketing is about communication using digital means as social media
WHAT IS YOUR GREATEST INSPIRATION
Living a life of service or a selfless life. Knowing fully that a man's reason for existence is beyond going to school and having money or getting married, but that there’s a purpose for
ones existence
WHAT ARE THE CHALLENGES YOU ARE FACING?
Having a serious and competent team/staff that have the same energy and share the same understanding of the vision as me despite all efforts to instill it in them. But time is of essence, I know they will catch
up.
WHAT WAS THE BIGGEST SETBACK YOU EVER EXPERIENCED
I’ve made poor and bad financial decisions before that left me indebted. But all that is in the past. I really learnt a lot from such experiences.
HOW DID YOU RECOVER FROM IT
I recovered by working and working smart. Every debt was paid without having to borrow a dime. God did it!
WHAT ARE YOUR GREATEST ACHIEVEMENTS SO FAR?
Giving over 3 dozen students the opportunity to grow and develop themselves, their work experiences at
The Echo Digital, T.E.D. we have over 55 staff now. Also, starting my NGO, The Echo Care Foundation
Africa, TECF, on June 10, 2018. The foundation now has over 6 dozen volunteers. Young people now have
other things they do aside academics, thanks to TECF.
WHO IS YOUR ROLE MODEL IN BUSINESS
My elder sister, Mrs. Opeoluwa Fayomi who works for USAid and is a business growth coach and Billy Gene who is resident in the US. He is a digital marketer like me.
WHAT ARE YOUR TOP GOALS
Be a billionaire in naira before the next 5 years and a billionaire in dollars before the next 10 years. Having
so much staff earning so much and contributing greatly to the growth of T.E.D from the comfort of their homes. (The goal is to run a virtual company). Also, seeing TECF reach out to the outside world , saving lives with the gospel of Jesus and meeting needs of the poor.
DO YOU BELIEVE IN GIVING BACK TO THE SOCIETY?
Yes, that’s why I have a registered NGO called ‘The Echo Care Foundation Africa, TECF'
ADVICE TO OTHER ENTREPRENEURS
When you make mistakes, learn from it and move on and always ask questions.
